Wines For Dark Evenings
13 Answers
It looks like Winter is about to show its claws, and the evenings will be dark from Sunday onwards.
Some Big Warming Wines from my recent stock-ups at Aldi, Tesco and the STWC :
It's back, it's just as good as the previous vintages - a cheap as chips Zin with all the trademark dark, fruity flavour. Drink with cheese and biscuits :

It's dirt cheap - but it's amazing quality for the price - generic vino d'italia, but in a primitivo style. Just a hint of sweetness, but none the worse for that - lovely with fish & chips :

Quite an extraordinary wine - almost full on sweet red - I ought to hate it, but would cheerfully glug any amount you put before me - excellent with a big bag of Kettle Chips :

Probably the best red for its price today - wonderfully rich and very complex aftertastes - an absolutely stunning Portuguese Shiraz. Oak, vanilla and liquorice flavours - but subtle as well as strong. The best wine for your Roast Dinner - I've laid in a few for Christmas Dinners :

Daft name - great wine - Malbec blend from Argentina - big, big wine - buckets of spicy fruity taste - have a bottle with your next Doner Kebab ...

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.brilliant wine if you can get it, an Argie Malbec (they also do a P-Noir), Taymente, from Western Argentina - around 12 a bottle but superb. For a white, I like Waitrose's Pecorino Superio from Fenaroli - nice and rounded, a nice acidity to it, around 8 to 10......(before 6 bottle discounts in both cases)
